Ingredients
  

  • 15 lasagna noodles
  • 2 cups fresh spinach cooked and finely chopped
  • 3 cups ricotta cheese
  • 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 3 cups tomato pasta sauce
  • 1 cup chopped fresh mushrooms
  • 1 cup chopped onions
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • cup grated Romano cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather all required ingredients for preparation.
  • In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the lasagna noodles until they are al dente, following package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  • In a skillet over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil. Sauté the chopped mushrooms, onions, and minced garlic until the onions become tender. Remove any excess liquid and let the mixture cool.
  • Simultaneously, boil a small pot of water and cook the fresh spinach for about 5 minutes. Drain thoroughly, allow it to cool slightly, and squeeze out any remaining liquid before finely chopping.
  • In a mixing bowl, blend the ricotta cheese, Romano cheese, egg, salt, oregano, basil, and black pepper until smooth. Incorporate the sautéed mushroom mixture and the prepared spinach, mixing until evenly combined.
  • In a 9x13-inch baking dish, arrange 5 lasagna noodles to form the base layer. Spread one-third of the ricotta-spinach mixture over the noodles. Sprinkle 1 cup of mozzarella cheese and ⅓ cup of Parmesan cheese over the mixture. Top with 1 cup of tomato pasta sauce, spreading it evenly.
  • Repeat this layering process two more times, using the remaining ingredients. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil to retain moisture while baking.
  • Bake the lasagna in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Once baked, allow the dish to cool for 15 minutes before serving to let the layers set.
  • This spinach lasagna delivers a harmonious combination of textures and flavors, making it an ideal choice for a satisfying meal.
